Chelsea’s Bio

I started in DC as an unpaid intern turned employee in May of 2011, supplementing the internship/job with b-sitting on the side for numerous families with varying number of kids and ages of the kids. One year later, I began b-sitting an 18 month old little boy FT for 6 months before he began preschool FT and continued in the summer until he was 3 1/2 years old after returning from doing an internship in Kenya. I've returned this summer again to care care for the same little boy, and here I am now! He is now a happy, active 4 year old.

When baby-sitting, I like to play outside and turn off the tv as much as possible. Being a camp counselor teaching environmental education to children of all ages, I've come to appreciate the value of having fun and learning at the same time. I am CPR and First Aid knowledgeable as well as epi-pen trained. I have experience picking up children at school and transporting kids to numerous afterschool activities.

I used Chelsea for a late-nite out on a recent Saturday. She was on time and kept me up-to-date while we were out. Her references that I spoke to couldn't say enough good things about her. The only reason I didn't give her all 5 stars is because she didn't actually interact with my sons since they were asleep the whole time. But I will call on her again.
